Embossed Spring Corner card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday where we are showcasing projects made using Embossing Paste. I have chosen to make my card using the pretty Spring Corners stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card:

 

To recreate embossed Spring corners card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Granny Apple Green card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using the Spring Corners Dies, I die cut the detailed floral image in 2 corners, one at the top and one at the bottom of one of the 5” by 3¼” panels of Basic White card. I laid the die cut panel over the second panel of the same size, taping then together to stop them moving around.

Using Washi tape I covered all the leaves on the die cut image leaving the flowers and flower centres exposed.

I scooped a little Embossing Paste onto my Silicon Mat using one of my Palette Knives. I added a small drop of Melon Mambo re-inker to the paste and mixed it thoroughly with the palette knife. I carefully smeared the coloured embossing paste onto the flower petals taking care to avoid the flower centres. I set the piece aside to allow the Embossing Paste to dry.

When the pink paste had dried, I added another scoop of paste to the Silicon Mat and mixed in a little Lemon lolly re-inker. This was then carefully smeared over the flower centres before setting it aside to dry.

Once the flowers were completely dry – about 30mins later I peeled up the top layer. I flipped the panel around and re-positioned the clean negative die cut flower over the embossed flowers. I mixed a little Granny Apple Green re-inker to a little Embossing Paste and smeared it over the leaves and set this aside to dry before removing the top panel.

The sentiment was added with Melon Mambo ink and the whole piece was then glued to the Granny Apple Green panel. I added it to the Melon mambo card front on Dimensionals.

Cards using the Cake Soiree bundle

Cake Soiree Classes

This month we used the Cake Soiree stamp set and Sweet Cake Builder dies for this month’s classes. I chose this set deliberately because I wanted to showcase the 3 types of embossing – dry, heat and embossing paste, and we had so much fun!!

Let the fun begin!

Sweet silver embossed cake

The 1st card we made used the lovely Silver Embossing Paste. To begin with we stamped the solid cake in Wisteria Wonder ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. The stamped cake was laid onto a sheet of plastic and one of the Sweet Soiree Decorative Masks was laid on top. We took a scoop of the Silver Embossing Paste and spread it across the mask in a line layer using the Palette Knives. We lifted the mask off revealing the silver stripes on the cake. This was then set to one side to dry thoroughly and the mask and palette knives were popped into a bowl of warm soapy water then washed at the end of class. Taking the delicate floral cake stamp and Pink Pirouette ink we stamped on the upper left hand corner and lower right hand corner of a Thick Whisper White card front. We also stamped the same image inside the card and on a Whisper White Envelope. We die cut the largest of the Lots of labels dies from Pink Pirouette cardstock and the next size down from Whisper White cardstock. We then trimmed the bottom of both labels and matted them together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added a Silver Ribbon bow to the top. When the embossing paste was dry we die cut the cake using the Sweet Cake Builder Dies and added a bow die cut from Silver Foil. The cake was added to the label on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To make the 2nd card we stamped the floral cake in Momento Tuxedo Black ink then coloured it in using Wisteria Wonder, Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party & So Saffron inks and Blender Pens. We stamped the smaller of the open roses in Pink Pirouette ink onto a Pink Pirouette card front and rounded the upper right corner with a WRMK’s corner rounder. We dry embossed a strip of Whisper White cardstock using the Sparkle Embossing Folder and the Big Shot. We added a piece of Silver Metallic Ribbon at the top before it was added a strip of Wisteria Wonder cardstock to the left side and glued the whole piece to the left side of the card front. We die cut the gorgeous decorative ‘plate’ from Wisteria Wonder cardstock and added it to the back of the cake with Tombow. Some of the ladies die cut the foliage from Pear Pizzazz cardstock and added it behind the cake which was raised up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Gorgeous Silver Embossed Floral cake

The 3rd card focused on heat embossing. We stamped the floral cake onto a scrap of Pool Party cardstock in Versamark Ink and yes we did remember to use the Embossing Buddy!! We sprinkled the stamped cake with Silver Embossing Powder and heat set it using the Heat Tool. We also stamped the sentiment in Versamark onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock and heat embossed it in the silver. The cake was added to a cake plate and stand die cut from Silver Foil. The cake was then added to the Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The whole panel was added to a layer of Pink Pirouette cardstock – the same layer that we used to die cut the label for the 1st card. The whole topper was then added to a Wisteria Wonder card base.

I really enjoyed this month’s classes and I know the ladies had a great time.
